This was Raymond Hood's only building in Europe and was built as offices for the National Radiator Company, the European branch of the American Radiator Company (ARC). Raymond Hood partnered with Gordon Jeeves, a British architect known for Earl's Court Exhibition Centre and Dolphin Square, and designed a building that was much smaller in scale but had much of the same aesthetics as its counterpart in New York. The building is in polished black granite and stands seven floors high with a recessed attic level at the top. It was originally four bays wide along Argyll Street, but another 7 bays were added in 1935. The Egyptian influenced decoration at the top of the sixth floor and the recessed attic is in Art Deco, and consists of an enamel frieze with elaborate designs in yellow, gold, orange, green and red that runs all the way round the building. Grade II listed
